Accordingly, parliamentarians Sarath Amunugama and Mahinda Samarasinghe and the Northern Province Governor Suren Raghvan will be attending the 40th UNHRC session as the President’s representatives.

President Sirisena stated this at the meeting held with heads of media institutes this morning (06).
